Opening times for The Hub @ Greenford Library
Visit the Hub at Greenford library, which is open every:
- Wednesday from 10am until 2pm
- Thursday from 1pm until 5pm
The free school uniform will be accessible to take when its open. Its free, all we need is you to tell us what you take, so we can know how many clothes we are keeping in circulation.
At the hub at Greenford Library, both branded and unbranded Greenford school uniform like shirts, skirts, trousers, tops and jumpers will be available. There is also sportswear uniform including tops, shorts and trousers. We try to hold a wide variety of school uniform, but it is dependant on what is donated.
Donations of school uniform that is no longer needed can also be dropped off at The hub. We want school uniform that is washed, clean and in good condition. However, it is not essential that you bring items to take items, our aim is to keep uniform in circulation and out of landfill.
Why pass uniform on?
School uniform can cost a lot for parents, yet many children grow out of their uniform long before it reaches the end of its life. A poll by Sainsbury’s revealed that a child will wear an average of 480 items of uniform clothing over the course of their school days. This means parents will spend about £6,000 in total on school uniform.
Free school uniform project in Ealing
The Free school uniform project that covers the Ealing borough has saved families money and also at of January 2026 has:
- saved nearly 800 items from landfill or incineration
- supported over 265 families
- saved just under two tonnes of climate change causing greenhouse gases (also known as CO2e)
- saved nearly 330,000 litres of water (that’s enough drinking water to last 370 people for an entire year
The community around Ealing has been very generous and these donations that make these hubs a success. So, a big thank you to all that has donated so far, as many families are helped by this generosity.
The project reduces textile waste by helping to keep usable clothing out of landfill, supports local families by clothes going to those that need them. It also makes it easy for people to donate their uniform with a choice of local drop off points. The project helps make this school year less stressful and greener for Ealing families.
This project has the support of ActForEaling, Ealing Council and The Hub @ Greenford Library.
